Teaching Award winners head for the national final
Winner of the London 2007 DCSF Award for Sustainable Schools. Godwin Junior School, will now go forward to national ceremony next month
Outstanding teachers, heads, teaching assistants, governors and schools across the country are getting ready for the Teaching Awards national ceremony.
On Sunday 21 October the London Palladium will stage the biggest celebration of education excellence for the nation’s schools before a 2000-strong audience.
Screened on BBC2, the ceremony will be fronted by the BBC’s Jeremy Vine and former X-Factor presenter Kate Thornton. They will be joined by Secretary of State for Education and Skills Ed Balls, celebrities from the world of entertainment and educationists.
The awards celebrate the exceptional achievements of those who inspire young people to achieve their best. School communities will applaud their local winners crowned earlier this year at one of 13 local ceremonies, hoping they will be presented with the ultimate accolade - a national Teaching Award.
Chair of the Teaching Awards, Lord Puttnam said: “The work of teachers has unique outcomes on the health, wealth and welfare of every single person in this country. As a nation we should be fantastically proud of them.
“This is my ninth Teaching Awards national ceremony, and I have witnessed the huge benefit that comes from teachers accepting praise and celebrating with colleagues, their schools and pupils. I believe in its power.”
